MILWAUKEE, October The DAY
opened bright and beautiful after reg
ular down pour Of rain during the
night, and everything tended to make
the few remaining hours of the Presi-
dents stay in Milwaukee of the most
pleasant natnre. About $50 carriages
containing the Presidential party and
eos Zen committee left the Plsnking-
Ton House, and proceeded to the
Soldiers Home by way of Grand
Avenue and Blnemound road. The
sides of the avenue were lined with peo-
Die, who dotted their hats and waved
their handkerchiefs, while occasional
cheers broke forth as some enthusiastic
individual caught sight of his political
chief, and impaired his enthusiasm to
those around. When the cavalcade ar
rived at the Soldiers Home, the MANNED
veterans were drawn up in line, aud
saluted the President and wife, as they
drove down the line, caDAons on the
green sward in front of the Home
meanwhile booming forth Presidential
salute. The time left before the de-
parture of the train was so brief that;
no stop was made. and the carriages
drove very rapidly Though the south
side of the city to the depot.
A large crowd had congregated about
the decorated pavilion on the platform
fully an hour before the distinguished
party arrived, and when the Presidents
carriage came into view it was greeted
with q round of cheers which continued
Of he
pearance of Mrs. Cleveland on the
platform was the signal for an especial
outburst of enthusiasm from the ladies,
who waved their handkerchiefs and
parasols in accompaniment to the cheer
ing. Mrs. Cleveland still looks bright
and fresh, Notwithstanding the cOntin-
ual round of receptions and revels
which she has undergone, and smiled
sWeetly as she accompanied her huS
band to the car. Postmaster. eneral
Villas was also the recipient of burst
of applause as he stepped out and van
ished into the Presidential car, which
Immediately pulled out, leaving the
yelling crowd behind.
MADISON, Wis, October 7.-On the
arrival of the presidential train here
this afternoon, the party was accorded
an enthusiastic reception and were es-
eorted to the capitol grounds, where
the welcoming address was made by
Judge Cole, Chief Justice of Wisoon-
sin. In reply, President Cleveland said :
After q week spent in travel, and in
visiting the people of the great west,
we have come to rest while at the cap
itsl of Wisconsin, known as the most
beautiful in location and scenery of all
the cities of this region. Though we
ho nf Tod of hoIr
homes for the first time, they are not
unknown to US. We know you at the
seat of the national government
through your fellow-townsman, who
has done honor to his home and to his
neighbors, by the most successful and
Conscientious performance of an i'm
portant public duty, and who has
earned, as he received, the respect and
esteem of every citizen who desires the
welfare of his country. So our desire to
actually see you and to know you better
is perfectly natural. 1t seemed to me
when l planned the trip we have IN
dertaken, that Madison would be the
proper place in which to make our first
stop for a rest; when | conceived the
idea of staying at Madison over Sunday
and testing the kindness of her citizens
and the hospitality of the Postmaster
General, all had to do was to imagine
that we would be very much tatigued
when we reached here, and in need of
rest l was determined we should have.
Thus We are here, and tired enough to
justify my plans"
After speaking further in praise OF
the beauties of the city, its surround
,ings, university, etc., the President con-
Guided Il expect to heartily enjoy my
stay here, and to always hereafter cher
ish pleasant recoliections of your city
and its inhabitants.
Upon the conclusion of the speech
making the party entered the capitol
building, the doors of which we're
closed for few minutes while the re-
seption committee a. Id Ia lies were pre-
sented to the President and Mrs. GSeve
land. After this, the doors we're opened
and for about two hours the people
poured in and passed by the President.
The town, though not very large itself,
was crowded to OVERLOOKING with
people from surrounding country.
Nhsn the reception ended, Mrs
Cleveland went at once to the resi-
dence Of Postmaster-General Villas,
where she spent the rest of the after
noon in quiet, The President, accom-
panied by Governor Rusk and Colonel
Villas, went to the Dane County fair
grounds, where again the people had
an opportunity to see him. This even
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Villas gave a dinner
TO the President, it being quiet affair
of twelve or fifteen covers. Among the
guests we're Governor and Mrs. RuSk
Chief Justice Cole and Mayor Conklin
and wife. The town is gorgeously dec
GRATED in all conceivable styles, the
adoFQment Of the grounds and the
mansion Of Colonel Villas being superb
